Attica : where White is Gold..

Most of the nights out for me in the last 6 months have been to a Club in Singapore called 'Attica'. I would say that i was initially attracted to the decor and the 'Talent' (If you know wat i mean...) at Attica, but after awhile it makes you Wonder.. Do all Asian girls idea of a pefect night out is going hunting for the abundant seasonal influx of foreign Homo Sapiens (a.k.a The White Man)?

Even when i walk around campus, or around town, i notice many of the local decent looking women locked in conversation with a White man.. not brown or black.. WHITE.. it doesnt matter how much hair he has.. or the unproportionate waist line to upper torso.. only thing that passes their eyes, is the colour of the skin.. (most cultures believe that White is not even a colour)..

Dont get me wrong.. i do believe some Asian girls do find thier perfect man regardless of the colour, but the colour, in most times, does help pass the intitial screening phases. Do they really believe, that the White man will take them away from Singapore.. or that he is faithful when he returns to his homeland.. Some Asian girls still return to their favourite hunting ground, even after failing to capture the Game.. Ah.. and the Game, themselves, throw down their natural defences.. Makes me think.. Who is hunting who? Attica is not my favouite hunting ground.. although i have a few sweet and bitter memories.. (refer earlier blogs)

If only the roles were reversed.. If white girls go after Asian Men.. hehehe.. but i cant find that many examples to blog about..

but i guess thats the Asian Culture..We all (South or East) suffer from the Colonial hangover... Asians were never good enough to be independent for many centuries.. and that has struck a deep mental hole into our phsycology - White man is God!!!

On another note.. Does wearing a plaster on your thumb always gives the impression that your a careless smoker? Ok.. so i smoke.. and i happen to burn my thumb.. but that does not give the right for YOU to jump to the conlusion i'm a careless smoker.. what if i cut myself.. or hit my thumb against the wall.. dont these possible explanations cross your minds!!!

and please dont give me tt symphatic look - "Smoking is not good for your health" - everytime i say im a smoker.. for example.. at work.. my mentor is a cute chick.. one day i reached to my drawer to pull out a notepad and she saw my pack of Marlboro lights.. and her facial expression changed to 'Sorry - good luck with living'... Please avoid changes your expressions for the Smokers sake.. We are not gonna quit because you feel sorry for us..

Finally i reached the epitome of my NUS academics..

For a long time i wondered if the possibility of me reaching an A average for my exams was just a fantasy.. Well, i think i've outdone myself.. beyond my potential.. Last friday 9am.. i was in the shock of my life.. a declining average for the last 3 semesters has finally come to a stop.. For I have reached whats probably the best academic semester so far.. I dont want to brag.. but receiving 3As and 2 B+ would give anyone a reason to put their heads above the rest... I'm still hovering around cloud no.9 with my results and wondering when will i settle back down into reality..

this makes me wonder.. Am i destined for greater things? Is this a turning point in my life? or was i just a lazy bum for the last 3 years? I cant complain, life has been good for me this year.. along with my grades i got paid on the same day!!! What a blessing... nothing has gone wrong for me the last 6months

I think i'm gg to turn my life around.. be a kinder person, give in my 100% in my studies, eat healthier food, exercise... I'm gg to be a better person... I've been given a 'Sign', that things are about to change.. and i need to make that step..

Its important that i dont get too cocky.. i need to focus, get down to some hard work next sem..

What i did at work this week?

9am - Arrive at DELLi office...

9.05am - At downstairs cafeteria reading newspapers and smoking cigs

10.00am - Sit at cubicle, read DElli brochures for the 100th time

11.00am - Look for other interns, who also pretend to look busy doing nothing

11.15am - back at cubicle

11.45am - Look for other interns for lunch

12.00pm - LUNCH!!

2.00pm - Back from Lunch, sit at cubicle pretend to be busy

3.30pm - Tea/Ciggarette break

4.30pm - Looking for other interns

5.30pm - Leave DELLi

By the way.. i got my DELLi notebook - 2.8Ghz, 80GB HD, 2GB Ram, 128 MB ATI Radeon - and i cant install any software!!! WTF????

Unfortunately.. since the other interns and myself have got out notebooks we can finally start work - i cant release the details of my projects for DELLi confidentiality reasons - but like for the rest of interns, the jopb scope is important, minute and none of the permanent staff can be f*cked wasting thier time on it...

An Unfinished Life

This movie surprised me... i expected a slow moving drama but instead i thought i witnessed Movie making at its finest. The script is flawless, acting is brilliant, scenery is unmatched... If i can recommend a DVD to buy, it would definetely be 'An Unfinished Life'. Easily in my top 10 movies for 2005..

Its a shame this movie failed to gather much interest. In a nutshell, this movie is about forgiveness and moving on...

Robert Redford in his best so far... and i thought i'd never say this but JLo in her 1st 'acting' role..

For those staying on NUS campus... you can copy this movie from my share (\\byron\movieclub\drama)...
